The humble Digestive biscuit. Boring or misunderstood?

It is two days before payday and the cupboards feel a bit like they should belong in Old Mother Hubbard's house. I was looking for something to snack on with my mid-afternoon brew (tea with three sugars, if you don't mind) but it looks like the teenagers in the house have cleared us out. Well, everything except the Digestives.

The humble Digestive biscuit. Boring or misunderstood?

This was the question I pondered whilst munching on the abandoned biscuits so I did what any serious blogger did. I Instagrammed the fuck out of a picture of my grub and posed my social media network with the same question. The responses were interesting.

Twitter, as always, was the most responsive (I don't think this lot have anything better to do):

Boring, so boring. I haven't eaten one since I was a child... and even then it was because it was that or nothing. (Danielle)

I buy a packet of chocolate digestives every week. Love 'em!!! (Av)

The humble digestive is one of the best foodstuffs known to mankind. It goes with sweet or savoury, cheese especially and it can be dunked in tea, coffee or lemon barley water (recommended). All hail the digestive. (Rob)

And on that note... I'm off to do some spreading, dunking and experimenting.
